Simpson Cast As The Killer In Son's Fictional Murder Tale

December 23, 1996

O.J. Simpson's 8-year-old son wrote a fictional murder mystery for a school assignment that ended with his father being the killer, a television station reported.

The story, which featured a killer holding a hostage with a knife and a machine gun, was written by Justin Simpson this fall and was used as evidence in the battle between Simpson and his former in-laws for custody of Justin and his 11-year-old sister, Sydney, KCBS-TV reported Sunday.

Simpson was awarded full custody of his two younger children on Friday. They had been living with their maternal grandparents since their mother, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ronald Goldman, were slain in June 1994.

The story was titled "Justin the Murder," KCBS reported.

The station said Justin wrote:

"People: The murderer, me, my friend Romez and Aaron the hostage.

"Setting: At my houce with Romez and my dad and mom.

"Missing: Aaron and his mom and dad.

"The murderer has Aaron as hostage. Romez and I have found the murderer but the murderer has a knife and machine gun held to Aaron's head.

"He wants to kill Aaron, me and Romez but he diden't think of killing Aaron with the knife and us with the machine gun but he was to stoped to doo that.
